BBC is under fire for publishing and promoting what has been called by critics a "dishonest" video cartoon stating that the United Kingdom "was multicultural before curry and carnival."
The BBC video was designed to engage teenage school students aged 14 to 16 on the charged topic of immigration, but it has instead sparked fierce backlash from many UK politicians, who have accused the authors of the cartoon of clear political bias.
The backlash has caused the UK state run BBC to pull the educational video as the media channel faced accusations of insufficient objectivity and breach of impartiality rules.
Various part of the animation have been re-uploaded by a variety of users on YouTube.
During the video, the voiceover is heard claiming that "we [Britain] were multicultural long before curry and carnival" and that "there's no such thing as a pure Brit."
